What Do Amenities Mean In Apartment Building?

Do you want to find a new apartment to rent or a new place to live? If so, the conveniences provided by your home should be high on your list of priorities. 

Extra services and facilities offered to residents of a building, community, or apartment complex are known as "amenities."

A building's amenities exceed the standard services expected in an apartment community. 

These perks go above and beyond to ensure a high quality of life for a community's inhabitants. 

Various services and conveniences, such as a gym, pool, rooftop deck, washers and dryers, parking, a concierge, and more, can be classified as amenities.

They're a major benefit for apartment buildings because they improve tenants' quality of life. The location, size, and intended tenant base of a building all have an impact on the cost of rent or lease payments, as do the amenities provided.

In this piece, we'll examine what it means to have amenities in an apartment building, what those amenities are, and why they're useful. This guide will help you determine what features are most important to you in a new living place.

Apartment Building Common Amenities

Location, city/regional demographics, and the owner's desired tenant profile all play a role in determining which amenities are made available to tenants. Is there a university nearby? Or is it a place where families feel most at home? Attracting customers in the Northeast and New England could be as simple as providing a cosy outdoor fire pit area.

A pool or shady rooftop is more alluring in a warmer climate. When designing a building for families, it's important to consider amenities beyond just office space. However, there are a few apartment features that are sure to be a hit with any prospective tenants. When looking for a new place to call home, here are some possibilities to consider.

Amenities For Transportation And Parking

Most people will prioritise proximity to public transportation when looking for a new place to live. The apartment's proximity to a subway and bus stop is convenient, but only for those who regularly use such services. 

On-site garages, encased parking, and assigned parking spots are more attractive to residents who drive. A courtesy spaceship to the nearby train station or shopping centre is convenient for those without cars, while bike storage is useful for cyclists.

The Technology

Online leasing, rent payment, and maintenance request options are just a few examples of the many technological conveniences that tenants appreciate as amenities.

Options For Laundry

Is there a way to use the building's shared laundry room, or is there a dry cleaner or laundry service available on-site? If you lack a washer and dryer in your unit, you should investigate the laundry facilities in your building (if any).

Amenities For Pets

One possible amenity for a building that allows pets is how those animals are cared for once they are there. We wondered if the building had a pet-friendly policy, such as doggy daycare or a pet sitter. Where can I take my dog for a walk, and is there a dog park nearby?

Building Features

Depending on their needs, residents may place a higher value on services like an elevator, a doorkeeper, or a secure package room. All will cost more than a similar unit in a different building, but if you've got a baby who requires a stroller, an elevator is a necessity.

A building with such a concierge, surveillance cameras, security personnel, or gated connection directly may be worth the additional rent or fees if you reside alone or are worried about your safety. Composting facilities, recycling centres, and kerbside recycling collection are some examples of supplementary building services.

Amenities In The Community

Building amenities such as a fitness centre, swimming pool, play area or community centre can make tenants feel more at ease in their new digs. Building amenities, such as a community outdoor grilling area, a multi-purpose room capable of being reserved for parties & briefings, or a library & media facility, which is ideal for studying but rather working from home, improve the quality of life for those who live there.

Additional community amenities, such as events and classes, foster a sense of camaraderie among residents.

The In-Unit Amenities

• Home Appliances-  Every apartment should have a refrigerator, stove, and oven as minimum requirements. Surprisingly, in some communities, those might be the only equipment provided. Never assume that what you see in an apartment on tour is what you will get. It's common for apartment rentals to be less upscale than the common areas. It's shocking to us, too, in a word: ease. For instance, dishwashers are incredibly helpful, but you can get by without one. Perhaps more emphasis should be placed on garbage cans, microwaves, and washing machines. Some renters would not feel comfortable moving in without an in-unit laundry facility. Some tenants would be happy to share the laundry facilities if provided or would be willing to install their washer and dryer if the unit had the necessary hookups. Consider the number of people who live in your building and the convenience of a nearby laundrette when making your own decision.
• Safety - You need not live in such a skyscraper to have access to modern safety amenities. Locked entry with the intercoms, video surveillance, and FOB connect directly are features that should never be taken for granted. You and your packages will be safer if you use any of these methods.
• Outdoor Area (Balcony or Patio) -  Most apartments have an outdoor area, like a balcony or patio. The worth of these intimate sanctuaries extends far beyond their footprint. They're like having extra rooms in your house. Relax with a cup of coffee and a morning barbeque. These apartment enhancements are especially enjoyable due to the breathtaking scenery. Depending on the apartment complex, you may have to pay extra to use your balcony. But in our increasingly lonely world, it could be worth it.

Fireplaces, stainless steel appliances, & granite counters are just some examples of what might be found in a well-appointed apartment.

Why Are Amenities Provided In Apartments?

Amenities are provided in apartments because management recognises resident demand for them. Every tenant has a list of necessities and wants, but the extras often break the deal.

Apartment complexes that provide extra perks for their tenants benefit not only the tenants themselves. Property owners who invest in the right amenities for their rental properties can:

• Invest in the worth of their rental units by installing amenities such as swimming pools, sports facilities, and upscale apartment finishes. This also allows them to increase their rent prices.
• Get better quality tenants by providing superior facilities. Top-notch amenities are not solely what the best tenants deserve but also what they are looking for, and landlords know this.
• Attract and keep long-term tenants by providing them with amenities they won't find anywhere else.

What Are The Advantages Of Amenities?

The greatest gain from convenient features is improved quality of life. For instance,

• You can unwind and take it easy in a park without leaving your building.
• Having a clubhouse in the neighbourhood is a great way to get to know your neighbours.
• A fitness centre or swimming pool can help you care for yourself physically and mentally.
• When you have a washer and dryer in your apartment, you can do laundry without bothering anyone else.
• Central air conditioning and heating will keep you comfortable no matter the season, and the in-unit dishwasher will make dish cleaning a breeze.
• You can take your dog for a walk without worrying about them being in danger, thanks to dog parks in your area.
• Regularly using a roof garden or gathering space for residents can foster a feeling of belonging.

Having these conveniences available to you can significantly improve your quality of life. And if you have them in your building or complex, the convenience of not going anywhere else is even greater.

Apartment hunters who place a premium on convenient community features should look for rentals that cater to their individual preferences.

How To Select The Appropriate Amenities

The demographics of your prospective tenants are the most important factor to consider when deciding what kinds of amenities should be offered in your multifamily building.

What age group makes up the bulk of your building's occupants? Families on the rise or lone students at university? Residents' preferences for amenities are influenced by demographics.

Remember that millennials make up the largest age group in the country. 

Don't forget about the rest of the population, either. That's especially important to remember if your property caters to guests of varying ages. The income level of apartment dwellers is also a factor, particularly for upscale features.

Lastly, the property's location is crucial when deciding what features to include. According to a survey conducted by the National Apartment Association, 60% of residents would be willing to pay more every month for a guaranteed parking spot, but this is only the case in high-demand areas. There may be no need for resident parking whatsoever in student accommodation properties in major cities.

According to a report by the National High Rise Apartments Council, in 59 of 70 major cities, renters aren't getting the same accommodations they would like or are living in apartments with amenities they're not interested in.

Keep this in mind and ensure that the amenities in your building are truly beneficial.

Apartment Amenities In The Future

More conveniences are available in today's apartments than ever before. Some of the most popular features in modern apartments are listed here.

Phone And Internet Access

Due to the widespread need for people to work from home during the epidemic, high-speed internet access has become a must-have in modern dwellings. About 90% of renters said they wouldn't even consider an apartment if it didn't have strong mobile service and Wi-Fi.

Ensure your phone has decent reception and enquire about Wi-Fi options with the leasing agent before committing to an apartment.

The Going green

These days, it's not uncommon to see eco-friendly, money-saving gadgets in rental units. The same holds for cutting-edge smart home technologies like thermostats and sensors that identify faulty faucets.

Your apartment complex may have a recycling and composting programme. To ensure everything you toss out can decompose during processing, read the recycling and composting guidelines carefully.

The Wellness

Apartment communities can do more to promote the health of their residents as individuals spend greater amounts of time there. Popular ways to bring neighbours together are through community activities, shared spaces (such as rooftop decks as co-working facilities), and gyms.

Smoke-free environments and soundproofing measures in apartments are also available as wellness amenities. There has been a rise in demand for accommodations that allow pets and provide lush outdoor areas.

Work-From-Home Options

As a result of the pandemic, more people are choosing to conduct their professional lives from their rental homes. Tenants who work from home should investigate the availability of amenities, including high-speed internet, a dedicated office space, and shared common areas.
